Hi Trish,
Both of your image classes need {position: relative;} added to them for IE to cooperate and position
those images where you want them to be. This seems to be because they are being laid out before
#profile, which is also positioned relatively, is shifted down by 20px, and therefore are ending up
too high.
The other thing you may want to consider is that IE is not respecting your <br style="clear: both">
clearing element. Because of this it won't draw your lavender border all the way down to the bottom
of the column. Switch to a different clearing element; a <div style="clear: both"></div> will work.
You may need to test in various browsers to see if you need a space in that div, or if you need any
other declarations in there. If you do, it might be good just to create a class holding all the
rules and apply that to the div. That way the class can be reused whenever you need it.
hth,
~holly
